I think the 3-1 ration was a mistake, Jon. I think the correct ratio was 30-1. On a 460 CPW machine, it shouldn't be taking 25msec to read 20 records from a file, build a subfile, then display the result on a 5250 device. For example, it takes my 300 Mhz Celeron PC only 4msec to read 51 records from a database table and copy them to another table.

Actually it is a lot better than not bad. Consider that (if my pricing info is correct) that on most AS/400s a Batch CPU second is about a 6th to a 10th of the cost of an interactive CPU seconds and you have the Web application significantly outperforming the 5250. Also we need to remember that CPU usage doesn't matter a hell of a lot unless we're already using all we've got. Most systems I've seen are not constrained by CPU utilization. -------End Original ----------------------- +--- | This is the Midrange System Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +---
